I’m glad they’re leaving E.T. alone. Anyone know what could be coming?

Some of my Universal friends seem pretty stern on Dreamworks and I have another friend that’s a bit higher up that mentioned Pokémon?

Screamscape is reporting that it’ll be DreamWorks characters. Specifically, Shrek, Trolls, and Kung Fu Panda.

Adding, Joe on IU (who helps on Parkscope) seemingly expects most of it to be razed, with perhaps the exclusions of Barney Theater and Nuthouse Coaster. For the majority, this would appear to be a ground-up project.

ET HAS to stay; per their deal with Spielberg. Supposedly he promised to never liscence a property to them again should they ever remove E.T. (And with Jurassic being such an integral part of their park, can’t see them trifling with the ride and risking upsetting their bigger properties)

TROLLERCOASTER OH MY GOD PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET THIS BE THE NAME

Trollercoaster would probably be Nuthouse coaster, no?

What in the AI hell is front of that gong? Is that what dementors look like as children?

I always find rethemes to be such interesting projects — after more interesting than brand-new projects because we get to see the designers being creative with existing elements.

For example, I love how the Kung Fu Panda area is just a simple reskin of the old Curious George attraction. It’s clever how they’ve fit the structure into the new theme, and it brings totally new life to a forgotten attraction that had great bones.

This exceeded all my expectations of the project-- looks like it will be a great and much needed addition to the park.

There is supposed to be a passholder preview coming, and I look forward to checking it out.

I really love the troll in the ice cream cone.
